It is of a medium length river but gives you a unique experience by offering the thundering rapids, incredible view of the Annapurna range, and the huge George which gives you plenty of pleasure. The rapid river, as being more technical and continuous, keep the rafters busy for paddling in most of the day.
The cultural revelation adds much excitement to the trip. Kaligandaki river proffer the great white water with its turbulent rapids, stunning scenery, old villages along with the great views of the mountain. A fossil found underwater is more interesting and the white sandy beach beneath the water adds more enjoyment.
